The prime factorization of 84 can be expressed with exponents as follows:
1. First, we can divide 84 by 2, which gives us 42.
2. Then, we divide 42 by 2 again to get 21.
3. 21 can be divided by 3 to get 7.
4. Finally, 7 is already a prime number.
So, the prime factorization of 84 is:
\[ 2^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot 7^1 \]
This matches the choice:
**2² ⋅ 3 ⋅ 7 (2 squared times 3 times 7)**.
